Notes
Yamamoto Keiichi (山本圭壱) was replaced by fellow comedian Tsukaji Muga, with Yamamoto's career believed to be finished because of the rape allegations against him.
Fuji TV initially planned to just archive it, but after receiving a barrage of messages from disappointed fans, they decided to postpone it until key scenes could be re-shot.
